Lazy app
Response from developer
The availability of Offender Records from app searches depends on whether the jurisdiction the sex offender registers actively uses our OffenderWatch Law Enforcement Product. If you would like more detailed profile information on your searches, the profiles from sheriffalerts.com are available in participating areas or you can search on provided links.
Does not work
Nothing shows up. Have tried multiple addresses just to make sure it want me, but the app just shows a map - with absolutely zero information about convicted sex offenders on it. It just looks like google maps.
Tried to go to the help section and it’s just FAQ and no way to contact anyone to ask how to better use the app. This should be public information. The free version doesn’t do anything - and you shouldn’t have to pay for this information anyway.
Response from developer
The state of Vermont does not allow for residential addresses for sex offenders to be published. When you run a search within the state of Vermont, you will get no results. But you can search by name and see records in Vermont that way. The offender maps work anywhere else in the United States where sex offenders have publishable information. The paid features of the OffederWatch app are designed for parents who may have children active on social media, online video games, and with email addresses.
Paid version not working
Canceling the subscription, disappointing not to be able to use. But the free version does what it says it will with no issues so far.

Please email support@offenderwatch.com and I would be happy to help you with this issue. Depending on which type of device your children are using will determine if text message alerts, phone call alerts, and watch list will work. Right now, on iphone devices we are only supporting the Locations utility, Offender Location alerts, and email offender alerts.
Not worth the download.

You can click on the button at the bottom of the offender profile to get more information on that person. Depending on where you are located will determine if you get routed to nsopw.com or sheriffalerts.com. Sheriffalerts.com locations will provide you with the offender record after clicking on the button. In areas that use nsopw.com, you can type in the offender's name into the search field to get a more detailed record. Which one you get routed to is labeled on the button at the bottom of the app record.
